In the 2015 general elections, a new political alternative, Podemos and its confluences – currently, Unidas Podemos – managed to shake up the two-party system derived from the 1978 regime with 69 seats. Almost five years later, in December 2019, after more than a fortnight of false accusations coming from the national sewers, and a cost that is difficult to imagine personally for its most notable protagonists, Unidas Podemos managed to consummate with the PSOE the commitment to raise the personal income tax on those taxpayers with higher incomes by two points, two. to 130,000 euros per year (we are talking about 0.5% of the total) and four points for those capital incomes greater than 140,000 euros.
Is it possible that the public perception of a Keynesian party, purely social-democratic, not at all radical, could be distorted to the point of becoming a shortcut of evil Bolsheviks willing to implement a dictatorial revolution? Likewise, finally, an agreement was reached to agree on a minimum taxation of 15% in Corporate Tax for large corporations, extendable to 18% for financial entities and hydrocarbon companies. A Belgium Mobile Number List minimum wage raised to 950 euros, efforts to reverse the labor reform, a new housing law capable of minimally restricting the interests of large investment funds, and an Equality Law in favor of the most disadvantaged and even mocked groups. , they complete, thus quickly, the little revolution. It could be understood – it is pure historical materialism – that among those 0.5% of the richest Spaniards, there were, perhaps more, who did not see Unidas Podemos as their most favorite option.
Even more astonishing is that a good part of the other 99.5% considers the political line of this party “communist”. Such is the opinion when even the IMF and the OECD, even Joe Biden, have come to appeal for a major tax reform where the richest and large companies are the ones who contribute the most in these critical times. Is it possible that the public perception of a Keynesian party, purely social-democratic, not at all radical, could be distorted to the point of becoming a shortcut of evil Bolsheviks willing to implement a dictatorial revolution? If the ad nauseam equation was previously embarrassing, now it could not be more disturbing. Before Morpheus in The Matrix, Plato already anticipated it: when the philosopher returns to the cave to warn his chained companions of their false perception of reality, the victims, unable to assimilate it, end up with his savior. “In the death of the philosopher by his companions in the cave,” says Julián Marías, “the memory of Socrates beats.
